Today you are 5 months old. Just 5 months ago you were about to make your appearance into the world.

From the start you loved being held and having someone holding you. You won’t sleep alone, or hang out on the floor or in your co-sleeper alone without crying for the first 5 weeks or so. So you were rarely put down. Though occasionally you were okay for a few minutes.

You got to meet your Great Grandfather and he got to hold you.

You grew some, and Mommy stopped having milk products and you became much happier.

ANd your big brother decided, maybe she isn’t too horrible…

And you kept growing and trying to move, you learned to roll.

You started sitting up with no support, and playing with toys and trying to figure out everything. And you got to swim!

Then you learned to get on your hands and knees and rock and propel your self forward to get whatever interested you. And you got your first tooth!

And despite your brother sharing his pasta with you today, you are still exclusively breastfed! You are learning more every day and growing up so fast, you are no longer a newborn. You are opinionated and know what you want and you are working hard to get it too. Soon you will be pulling up and standing and cruising and talking. Happy 5 months Eloise!
